ROUSSET, France, June 26 /PRNewswire/ --

Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML), announced today the availability of
the AT91SC192192CT-USB, a FLASH based, ARM(R) SC100 powered, secure
microcontroller. The AT91SC series is a family of low power, high-performance
32-bit RISC secure microcontroller with ROM or FLASH program memory, advanced
EEPROM data memory and powerful cryptographic accelerators. These products
target applications that require high computing power, high-speed
communication interfaces and seamless connection to very large memories.

Based on the ARM(R) SC100 CPU, the AT91SC192192CT-USB features 192 Kbytes
of FLASH program memory, 192 Kbytes of high-performance EEPROM (fast
erase/write time, high endurance) and 24 Kbytes of RAM. Also included are a
Full Speed USB 2.0 interface with 5 Endpoints, an SPI interface to
communicate in an Embedded System environment or to connect to a NOR Flash
and dedicated hardware to connect to a NAND Flash. The device is particularly
well suited to build high-end secure e-Tokens and to be used in Embedded
Systems where it can serve as a Security Module to prevent hardware
counterfeiting, store secure data, provide authentication services, process
digital rights management etc.

Fully compatible with the ROM-based AT91SC512384RCT, the
AT91SC192192CT-USB also incorporates the standard ISO 7816 Smart Card and
the emerging Single Wire Protocol (SWP) interfaces. This makes the
AT91SC192192CT-USB a flexible FLASH alternative to its ROM sibling for
Smart Card applications such as next-generation (U)SIM cards.

Eric Le Cocquen, Atmel's Embedded Systems Product Line Manager stated,
"Our new AT91SC192192CT-USB combines Atmel's recognized Smart Card Chip
Security, state of the art crypto and ARM(R) SC100 computing power with FLASH
flexibility on a versatile platform designed to address a wide spectrum of
security applications. Thanks to its rich set of interfaces and FLASH, our
product can quickly be added to virtually any embedded system."

Availability and Pricing

AT90SC192192CT-USB samples are available now in a LQFP64 package. Pricing
starts at US $8.84 for 10k units.
